I still need to post my PROMPTuesday submissions for the last two weeks (prompts: “hoarder” and “road trip“), but in the meantime? Today’s PROMPTuesday is: Is there someone in your life you let go who you wish you could reconnect with today? Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your…Continue Reading

This Smells.

My Chiropractic Experience, Part II
I don’t even like looking at this picture. Part I is here. The next step in my journey toward battling my fear of chiropractors and their bone-cracking infernal ways happened when I attended a tweet-up last month. A get-together of San Diego tweeters, a tweet-up is a pretty regular occurrence in this…Continue Reading
An Unlikely Encounter: How Chiropractic Care Did Not Kill Me
These give my soul heart attacks and make babies cry more than they already do. If you know me at all, you’re well aware that my fears are legend and legion. I’m scared of planes, spiders, medicine, cancer, blood, needles, doctors, public speaking, alopecia, and those swim socks that make your feet look…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #152: One Word Again
I’ve posted the “one word” prompts before, but I think they can be very helpful trigger words to spur stories or posts. So today? The one word is: HOARDER. Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments. First…Continue Reading
Sage
I’m going to be honest. I’ve been boiling in a pit of bitter acid for the better part of this year. Waking up in the middle of the night, feeling sorry for myself, comparing my life to others, lamenting my lack of “success,” roiling around in why them and not me, and all that…Continue Reading
How to Celebrate Your 10th Wedding Anniversary
Later this afternoon, my husband and I are leaving to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in downtown San Diego. It’s gonna be great! Toots and Booger will be there too! In the next bed over. In the same room. It’s hard to find an overnight babysitter. So what we’re going to do…Continue Reading

Guilty Pleasure Songs
You know how you listen to a certain song and instantly feel revived and happy? For some reason, most of those songs for me (with the sole exception of everything the Indigo Girls ever sang) are solidly rooted in the 70s and early 80s. I’ve no real idea why, other than I have sharp and…Continue Reading
Drafts and Minutiae
I don’t know why, but I thought of this today: There was a field. Long green grass, not the tickly kind. The hushed whoosh of water off in the vast distance. Skies with wispy clouds, for imagining animals. Yes it was quiet, but still flush with sounds beneath the surface, a gopher digging, a…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #150: Follow the Trail
Good God, it’s been three years of PROMPTuesdays almost to the day. That’s a long time of me sticking to something. So let’s celebrate with some good old-fashioned storytelling! Take a look at the picture below, and write a story in 10 minutes using the words “detective,” and “150.” (I returned to the…Continue Reading
Not For Me
What? All I did was turn on the stove. Well it’s official. I could never be a teacher. Actually, it’s probably best if I don’t ever teach, instruct, or otherwise guide small children. Or people in general. Or living things with faces. Today was a particularly painful lesson in becoming…Continue Reading
